This collection from a British label, Living Era, has the requisite hits (see track listing above), but as usual in Kyser's case, the liner notes are full of mistakes.They have Ginny Simms joining in 1938 when it was 1934, says Kyser's name was James Kay Kyser, when it was James Kern Kyser- He adopted his middle initial as a stage name because it sounded snappier.There's only one song w/ Ish Kabibble (Kyser recorded dozens featuring the comic/ trumpetist). Paul Roth, who wrote the liner notes, has Kyser disbanding in 1952, it was 1950. Really, I'm getting very tired of these lazy writers who don't take time to get their facts right. I'm sure there are more mistakes, but why frustrate myself! For the real facts go to kaykyser.net (not .com)

enjoyed song Three little fishes, and several others . Many songs I did not know-good to hear something very different. Makes you smile when hearing silly songs

Brings back WWII memories for both my wife and myself during our service in the navy, that's the British one!

The other CD I purchased, "The Very Best of Larry Clinton & His Orchestra" HAS never BEEN received from media_gold I've paid my credit card bill already but the item has NEVER BEEN RECEIVED. THEY ARE NOT HONEST AND THEY SCREWED ME.
